:00:00. > :00:09.Tonight on Reporting Scotland: Warnings about ecstasy tablets after
:00:10. > :00:13.a teenage girl dies. Regane MacColl collapsed in a
:00:14. > :00:24.nightclub after taking this pill. Doctors say it's a growing problem.
:00:25. > :00:26.When they come here, they have been quite poisoned. We are very
:00:27. > :00:29.concerned. Four other people were also taken to hospital, after
:00:30. > :00:32.apparently taking the same drug. Also on the programme: The future of
:00:33. > :00:36.the Commonwealth Games. They're in Glasgow this year - but future Games
:00:37. > :00:38.are struggling to find a country to host them.
:00:39. > :00:42.How deer are threatening the survival of Scotland's native
:00:43. > :00:45.woodlands. And after his success in Dubai,
:00:46. > :00:47.Stephen Gallacher flies back into Scotland - eyeing the Ryder Cup in
:00:48. > :01:07.Gleneagles. Good evening. Accident and emergency
:01:08. > :01:12.units are seeing patients as young as 15 who've been taking ecstasy.
:01:13. > :01:16.This has emerged after the death of a Clydebank teenager, who collapsed
:01:17. > :01:19.at a nightclub at the weekend. Four other people were taken to hospital,
:01:20. > :01:27.after apparently taking the drug. Our home affairs correspondent
:01:28. > :01:31.Reevel Alderson reports. This is the nightclub where a
:01:32. > :01:36.17-year-old girl collapsed at the weekend, apparently having taken an
:01:37. > :01:39.ecstasy tablet. 17-year-old Regan McCall died in Glasgow Royal
:01:40. > :01:44.Infirmary. The cause of her death is not yet known. A 19-year-old woman
:01:45. > :01:47.from Clydebank has been arrested for alleged drug offences. Three men
:01:48. > :01:52.were taken to this hospital in command after apparently having
:01:53. > :01:58.taken similar ecstasy tablets. -- in Cil Marnoch. Doctors say there is a
:01:59. > :02:03.worrying rise in the number of younger patients being admitted
:02:04. > :02:07.after taking recreational drugs. Initially ecstasy was mainly through
:02:08. > :02:11.the club drug scene with people going to concerts and raves and
:02:12. > :02:16.nightclubs. They were mainly in their early 20s up to 30s. We're
:02:17. > :02:21.seeing a shift down to young teens. The youngest we've seen is 15. When
:02:22. > :02:26.they come here they've been quite poisoned and we've been very
:02:27. > :02:30.concerned. One problem doctors here in the A unit face is that
:02:31. > :02:33.patients often don't know what they have taken, which means it's
:02:34. > :02:38.difficult for doctors to prescribe specific treatment for them. It's
:02:39. > :02:42.thought Regane MacColl took these pills, Mortal Kombat, with the red
:02:43. > :02:45.Dragon logo. But in the past fortnight, drugs agencies have
:02:46. > :02:51.issued two separate warnings about ecstasy tablets. These pills were
:02:52. > :02:57.found to contain a substance which can be highly toxic when taken with
:02:58. > :03:01.alcohol. The message today is that you really cannot trust what you are
:03:02. > :03:05.told about these substances. You cannot rely on the content being
:03:06. > :03:09.what you think it will be and, quite rightly, you are gambling with your
:03:10. > :03:15.life at times by taking them so please stay safe and don't do it.
:03:16. > :03:20.Charities say the danger is evident from changes in young people's
:03:21. > :03:24.drug-taking, including mixing several drugs together and taking
:03:25. > :03:31.them with alcohol. We are seeing an increasing trend in the levels of
:03:32. > :03:36.polydrug use. We estimate that about 80% of drug users are taking more
:03:37. > :03:40.than one substance at a time. Analysis is continuing to discover
:03:41. > :03:43.what caused Regane's death and the illness of the other users.
:03:44. > :03:46.Cuts in housing benefit, which critics have dubbed the "bedroom
:03:47. > :03:49.tax", are to be reversed in Scotland. The Scottish Government is
:03:50. > :03:54.promising an additional ?15 million to cancel the effect of the policy.
:03:55. > :03:58.But they say the cash can only be spent if the UK Government lifts a
:03:59. > :04:05.legal cap on spending. Here's our political correspondent Glenn
:04:06. > :04:09.Campbell. In Glasgow, Jane Grey is struggling
:04:10. > :04:14.to find the money to make up for a cut in housing benefit imposed
:04:15. > :04:17.because she has a spare bedroom. She hopes more cash from the Scottish
:04:18. > :04:23.government will make it easier to get by. That will take a lot of
:04:24. > :04:33.strain off me, not to pay the bill at all. If you don't pay, we'll put
:04:34. > :04:39.you out the house, that is what they say. The bedroom tax affects an
:04:40. > :04:44.estimated 76,000 Scottish households, which are home to around
:04:45. > :04:52.12,000 children. 80% include an adult with a recognised disability.
:04:53. > :04:55.?15 million from the Scottish government, together with existing
:04:56. > :05:01.help, should be nobody in Scotland has to pay the bedroom tax in the
:05:02. > :05:04.coming year. The snag is, the UK Department for Work and Pensions
:05:05. > :05:08.hasn't set a cap on the amount the Scottish Government can spend on
:05:09. > :05:17.discretionary housing payments. -- has set a cap. Isaiah written to the
:05:18. > :05:21.DWP to ask them to lift that cap and provide us the resources to mitigate
:05:22. > :05:25.the bedroom tax completely. It's not clear whether the UK government will
:05:26. > :05:30.give permission. They say this year's cash help has not been fully
:05:31. > :05:33.taken up. Even if the answer is no, the Labour Party says debt
:05:34. > :05:37.cancellation is another way to offset the tax. It is already in
:05:38. > :05:42.existence in one council and housing association. It has been checked by
:05:43. > :05:48.lawyers and we're sure that there is a legal way to get round the DWP
:05:49. > :05:54.cap. SNP ministers would prefer to top up discretionary housing
:05:55. > :06:00.payments but say they'll look at all options to effectively cancel the
:06:01. > :06:05.bedroom tax in Scotland. Our political editor, Brian Taylor,
:06:06. > :06:09.joins me. What's the latest? Further talks this evening to try to resolve
:06:10. > :06:13.the differences explained in that report. They're examining options
:06:14. > :06:20.for what happens if the DWP say yes. And what happens if they say no
:06:21. > :06:23.and if they don't respond to the terms suggested by the Scottish
:06:24. > :06:27.Government. You are beginning to get the evidence of a real difference of
:06:28. > :06:32.opinion between the two sites. Ian Craig believes there are other ways
:06:33. > :06:36.of doing this and driving it forward. The Scottish Government
:06:37. > :06:40.says its hands are tied if the DWP doesn't give it the go-ahead.
:06:41. > :06:43.Benefits are controlled by Westminster and they cannot simply
:06:44. > :06:48.spend what they like. They say if they try to find other ways, DWP
:06:49. > :06:52.would just say that it was a way of getting round the rules and was not
:06:53. > :06:58.legal. This is by no means a done deal. Politics inevitably at play in
:06:59. > :07:02.all this. It's a reasonable point. These are serious, genuine
:07:03. > :07:09.negotiations. The SNP and Labour believe there is a serious economic
:07:10. > :07:12.problem caused by this. The policy has its defenders but you have the
:07:13. > :07:19.Labour Party suggesting the SNP are not fully using the powers they have
:07:20. > :07:21.at Holyrood and the SNP saying, if only we have the powers of
:07:22. > :07:23.independence we would control benefits in Scotland ourselves and
:07:24. > :07:26.the issue would not arise. You're watching Reporting Scotland
:07:27. > :07:30.from the BBC. Still to come on tonight's programme: We're in Sochi
:07:31. > :07:35.as the Scots in Team GB head east for the Winter Olympics.
:07:36. > :07:38.In sport: A welcome home for Scotland's latest golfing hero, who
:07:39. > :07:41.says Ryder Cup selection would be massive.
:07:42. > :07:44.And up for the Cup! After the drama of penalties, Inverness Caley
:07:45. > :07:47.Thistle reach their first major Cup Final. News of all of that and more
:07:48. > :07:59.coming soon. Just 170 days to go before the
:08:00. > :08:01.Commonwealth Games begin in Glasgow. But organisers are becoming
:08:02. > :08:05.increasingly concerned about the future of the event - because, so
:08:06. > :08:09.far, no-one has said they want to host the games in 2022. Expressions
:08:10. > :08:13.of interest have to be in by the end of March, but so far none of the 70
:08:14. > :08:23.nations and territories have come forward. Here's our Commonwealth
:08:24. > :08:28.Games reporter Chris McLaughlin. Where will you be when the world
:08:29. > :08:31.comes to Scotland? Glasgow 2014 selling itself to the
:08:32. > :08:37.world in a bid to attract big crowds and being athletes to the city for
:08:38. > :08:41.the 20th commonwealth games. And it is so far proving popular, with most
:08:42. > :08:45.of these venues ready and the majority of the tickets already
:08:46. > :08:52.sold. But just how popular are the Games in general? In 2018,
:08:53. > :08:56.Australia's Gold Coast will be the hosts but in 2022, the destination
:08:57. > :09:01.of the games so far remains a mystery. So far no ex rations of
:09:02. > :09:07.interest have been received but the man in charge of attracting them
:09:08. > :09:11.remains up meat. If there are no bids, the games will finish in 2018.
:09:12. > :09:18.But I don't think that will be the case. The games have been held every
:09:19. > :09:24.four years since 1930 but, as they've grown, so has the price
:09:25. > :09:27.target. And so, as the Queen's bat on makes its way around her 70
:09:28. > :09:31.nations and territories, the messages that future games could be
:09:32. > :09:40.smaller, meaning fewer sports and, so, fewer athletes. As long as it
:09:41. > :09:45.was well and some of the... It wasn't high profile sports that were
:09:46. > :09:48.cut, because there are some sports that are more high profile than
:09:49. > :09:52.others and some would be more damaging than others if they were
:09:53. > :09:56.lost from the Games. So Glasgow is on but after that, attention turns
:09:57. > :09:59.to making sure the Commonwealth Games have a future.
:10:00. > :10:02.A deal's been reached which could help increase the number of supply
:10:03. > :10:06.teachers. The agreement means teachers called in to do supply work
:10:07. > :10:09.would get paid at a higher rate after two days' work instead of
:10:10. > :10:13.five. Several councils and schools have had problems finding supply
:10:14. > :10:16.teachers. The deal is part of a bigger package on pay and
:10:17. > :10:19.conditions. Scotland's largest teachers' union, the EIS, will now
:10:20. > :10:22.ballot its members on whether to accept the package, which also
:10:23. > :10:28.includes 1% pay increases for all teachers this year and next.
:10:29. > :10:33.Edinburgh City Council has scrapped the licensing of saunas and massage
:10:34. > :10:36.parlours. The move marks a change in the city's long-standing tolerance
:10:37. > :10:40.of the sex trade and it follows a number of police raids on premises.
:10:41. > :10:44.The council says the current arrangement was no longer effective,
:10:45. > :10:47.but it does not mean the saunas will close. Representatives of sex
:10:48. > :10:52.workers have said the decision not to license saunas could put them
:10:53. > :10:55.more at risk. Deer represent the biggest threat to
:10:56. > :10:58.our native woodlands, according to the findings of a major new study
:10:59. > :11:02.from Forestry Commission Scotland. It's reignited the debate on demands
:11:03. > :11:04.for a cull to reduce the number of deer on Scotland's hills. Our
:11:05. > :11:15.environment correspondent, David Miller, reports: Scotland's native
:11:16. > :11:17.woodlands are you rich and diverse habitat, supporting and diverse
:11:18. > :11:23.habitat, supporting an array of birds, plants and animals.
:11:24. > :11:28.Read deer are at home here but overgrazing can threaten the
:11:29. > :11:33.woodlands on which they depend, so what does this latest research tell
:11:34. > :11:39.us about the scale of the threat? It shows that over the whole resource,
:11:40. > :11:42.about a third is impacted quite highly and if that were to be
:11:43. > :11:47.maintained into the future, it would stop the woodlands regenerating
:11:48. > :11:50.successfully. The debate about the number of deer on Scotland's Hills
:11:51. > :11:56.and the impact they have on our native woodland is deeply divisive,
:11:57. > :12:01.with environmental organisations and conservationists on one side and
:12:02. > :12:09.landowners and gamekeepers on the other. And the road ahead? Ministers
:12:10. > :12:12.say that will involve balancing the needs of sporting estates which rely
:12:13. > :12:17.on income from deer stalking with environmental concerns. We do value
:12:18. > :12:22.the rural jobs that are provided by sporting estate but we have to look
:12:23. > :12:25.after the environment with great sensitivity because we have
:12:26. > :12:30.international obligations in place. We have a desire to protect a
:12:31. > :12:37.protected sites. There are more than three quarters of a million deer in
:12:38. > :12:43.Scotland but land managers argue the impact of our 2.5 million sheep is
:12:44. > :12:45.often overlooked. Gamekeepers say there is a simple practical measure
:12:46. > :12:54.which would protect native woodlands. The answer for us to this
:12:55. > :13:00.is fencing. If you've got a plant that lives for 200 years, it needs
:13:01. > :13:07.special protection for the first 15 years of its life. That protection
:13:08. > :13:11.is a fence. The deer control debate will continue but we now have more
:13:12. > :13:19.information than ever about the health of our woodlands and the
:13:20. > :13:20.threat they face. A A look at some other stories from across Scotland
:13:21. > :13:31.this Monday. And original, onshore fish farming
:13:32. > :13:37.project is underway in Argyll. This scheme for breezing salmon in tanks
:13:38. > :13:47.on land will initially employ 20 people. That will provide the
:13:48. > :14:09.blueprint. Then, we hope to expand that to four times the size at
:14:10. > :14:11.Machrihanish and then provide second and the processing.
:14:12. > :14:24.More -- secondary -- more money is to be provided...
:14:25. > :14:30.18 avalanche is where recorded over a 24-hour period over the weekend.
:14:31. > :14:38.Heavy snowfalls and high winds have also increased the risks of
:14:39. > :14:41.cornices. A World War I exhibition is going on
:14:42. > :14:52.display in Aberdeen to commemorate the role of the Gordon Highlanders.
:14:53. > :14:57.The great War claimed the life of over 28,000 soldiers. They were
:14:58. > :15:00.involved in all the major actions from the outbreak of war right
:15:01. > :15:07.through to the famous Christmas truce. There is a huge story to
:15:08. > :15:11.tell. A singer from Stranraer has won the
:15:12. > :15:18.BBC radio Scotland Young traditional user should award by 2014. Robin
:15:19. > :15:27.Stapleton saw off five other finalists to take the prize.
:15:28. > :15:30.How many artists does it take to change a light-bulb? Commuters in
:15:31. > :15:33.Edinburgh City Centre might find out this evening thanks to a new art
:15:34. > :15:36.installation that's transformed one of the capital's most famous
:15:37. > :15:39.squares. Those behind the Field of Light project hope it will attract
:15:40. > :15:52.thousands of visitors to St Andrew Square. Our reporter Steven Godden
:15:53. > :15:59.is there for us this evening. This is one of the busiest parts of
:16:00. > :16:05.Edinburgh city full set -- city centre. This Field of Light is made
:16:06. > :16:11.up of around 9000 glass bulbs that sit on top of a clear plastic tube.
:16:12. > :16:15.When you take a walk around here, you get a sense of the atmosphere
:16:16. > :16:20.that it creates. When you look from above, you get a sense of this
:16:21. > :16:24.scale. The inspiration for the project came in the Australian
:16:25. > :16:27.outback more than 20 years ago. This is the first time it has been in
:16:28. > :16:32.Scotland and the first time it has been staged in our city. The artist
:16:33. > :16:41.says his aims are fairly straightforward. We want to make
:16:42. > :16:48.people feel more optimistic about life. That is the aim of the
:16:49. > :16:53.installation. It is not an intellectual piece of work, it is
:16:54. > :16:57.purely about light and spirit and the more positive things in life.
:16:58. > :17:01.Tonight is the first time the project has been eliminated and
:17:02. > :17:06.already we have seen people out here with their camera phones. Edinburgh
:17:07. > :17:13.City Council, who commissioned and funded the project, say they hope it
:17:14. > :17:19.will bring people to this square. It will be here until the end of April.
:17:20. > :17:23.Thank you. Scottish athletes will start making
:17:24. > :17:26.their way to the Black Sea resort of Sochi this week where the Winter
:17:27. > :17:29.Olympics start on Friday. Curling, speed skating and skiing could all
:17:30. > :17:33.produce medals for Team GB which will be based between two sites - in
:17:34. > :17:36.the mountains and on the coast. Our reporter Jackie O'Brien reports from
:17:37. > :17:48.the mountain cluster, where Russians are working round the clock to
:17:49. > :17:52.welcome the world. Scotland may be giving Sochi a run
:17:53. > :17:55.for its money on the snow stakes this winter, but Olympic organisers
:17:56. > :17:58.are confident that there will be no need to dig into the thousands of
:17:59. > :18:02.tonnes they have been stockpiling here since last year. The country's
:18:03. > :18:05.culture and traditions are also in plentiful supply, but local people
:18:06. > :18:09.are keen to show off modern Russian too. We are very happy and we are
:18:10. > :18:17.very proud that the Olympic Games are in Russia this year. We are
:18:18. > :18:20.happy that we can show our culture. We are happy that so many people in
:18:21. > :18:30.other countries can see our games, can see our nation, can see how
:18:31. > :18:34.beautiful our country is. With just under a third of Scots
:18:35. > :18:38.making up Team GB, Scottish athletes are hoping to make a big impression
:18:39. > :18:44.in Russia. With curling and skiing the main medal contenders. We have
:18:45. > :18:49.got a really strong team this year. Just over 50 athletes are coming. We
:18:50. > :18:52.are hoping for at least three medals, but it could be more than
:18:53. > :19:11.that. We have had some exceptional results across the board recently.
:19:12. > :19:14.Many Scots including curling umpire Alan Stanford from Nairn have been
:19:15. > :19:16.chosen to officiate here are and areundeterred by recent terrorist
:19:17. > :19:20.threats to target the Winter games. I am sure they will have every
:19:21. > :19:24.security measure in place that they can to minimise the risk of the
:19:25. > :19:28.games having any issues or problems. I look forward to enjoying the games
:19:29. > :19:30.and I hope it is remembered for all the right reasons.
:19:31. > :19:33.But Sochi does not seem ready to receive the thousands expected here
:19:34. > :19:36.this week with workers grafting day and night to get the purpose-built
:19:37. > :19:39.resort fully open for Olympic business. Up in these breathtaking
:19:40. > :19:47.mountains, competition venues, hotels and even a shopping centre
:19:48. > :19:51.remain unfinished. Russia is in a race against time if it is to make
:19:52. > :19:59.the most expensive Winter games ever a success.
:20:00. > :20:08.Here's Rhona now with the sport. Good evening. Scotland's top-ranked
:20:09. > :20:12.golfer says it would be massive for the country to have a home-based
:20:13. > :20:14.player in this year's Ryder Cup at Gleneagles. Doubly special for
:20:15. > :20:17.Stephen Gallacher, as his uncle Bernard played for, and captained,
:20:18. > :20:19.the European team. Kheredine Idessane reports on Gallacher's
:20:20. > :20:22.homecoming after retaining the Dubai Desert Classic and his optimism for
:20:23. > :20:24.the year ahead. Back on home soil after his best
:20:25. > :20:29.ever victory. Friends and family with a warm welcome following a win
:20:30. > :20:39.in Dubai which could change his career. An historic day. He is the
:20:40. > :20:43.only man ever to retain the Desert classic title, the first Scot
:20:44. > :20:48.successfully to defend the European tour event in 14 years and he can
:20:49. > :20:53.now play and all four majors this season, including the Masters in
:20:54. > :20:59.April. That has been a dream of mine since I was a child. I have always
:21:00. > :21:05.wanted to play it. It is the only major I have not played in.
:21:06. > :21:10.Augusta, I hold it in high esteem. It is one of the pinnacles of the
:21:11. > :21:13.golfing calendar. In the year Scotland hosts the Ryder Cup, his
:21:14. > :21:21.good form could scarcely be better timed. As a nation, we want a Scot
:21:22. > :21:26.in the team. I hope I can do my best. It has been in my family. My
:21:27. > :21:33.uncle played eight times and captained it three times. It is
:21:34. > :21:38.seven months away, it is a long-term goal so I do not focus on it too
:21:39. > :21:42.much just now. What he can focus on is another year in possession of
:21:43. > :21:45.this fine specimen and on playing the kind of golf which will push
